![]() I appreciated Peter’s struggle, not with himself because he knows who he is, but with the people and the world around him and how they want to box him into something he isn’t. The author utilizes the character of Peter to explore gender identity and I really loved that we get a trans main character here. I’ll say this though, it was really great revisiting these familiar characters, with a bit of a twist. There are some things in this book that I don’t want to spoil because they’re not given away in the blurb. Now, I still think there’s a lot of great stuff in this one, we read it for our HEA Book Club over on r/fantasy and quite a few people loved it, so I definitely think it’s a case of expectations and personal pet peeves which made this one not quite a fit for me. Oh, I really wanted to love this book, but I feel like it fell short for me in a couple of ways. ![]() Even more shocking is the attraction Peter never knew he could feel for his old rival, Captain Hook-and the realization that he no longer knows which of them is the real villain. Growing up, however, has only made him realize how inescapable his identity as a man is.īut when he returns to Neverland, everything has changed: the Lost Boys have become men, and the war games they once played are now real and deadly. ![]() Ten years ago, Peter Pan left Neverland to grow up, leaving behind his adolescent dreams of boyhood and resigning himself to life as Wendy Darling. ![]()
